Feels like Saturday

This weekend is the event D’s been looking forward to all year – the Magic grand prix in Portland, where he gets to play on a team with J. and J’s friend C. Today they did great in a practice event, with D. fully pulling his weight. They went to bed early, because tomorrow’s main event starts at 8 a.m. D. was bedding down on the floor with a pile of pillows, sheets, and blankets.

As I usually do when they’re both gone, I indulged in risotto for dinner – lemon artichoke. Z. came by in the afternoon for a brief work-related meeting, and the crickets were impressively loud on my after-dark walk.

I’m typing on the bedroom computer. Ajani is mewing piteously for me – he must wonder where the others are. I wonder if the kittens will ever get grown-up voices.
